Avoiding costly mistakes
Today’s employer faces increasing potential for costly litigation for missteps in addressing certain workplace behaviors and dynamics. Employers and their managers face a complex alphabet soup of federal and state regulations – EEOC, FMLA, ADA, FLSA and others being added all the time. It’s a confusing labyrinth, and a wrong turn can have costly consequences:
- The number of employment cases filed in federal courts nearly tripled in the past decade.
- US-based small and medium sized businesses (under 500 employees) have an an average 11.7% chance of facing an employment lawsuit claim.
- Workplace discrimination against employees based on race, gender or sexual orientation costs businesses an estimated $64 billion annually.
